Reader extensions

This egg installs a reader extension for #\@ that reads a date/time literal as described below in date-syntax:read. Additionally, a record printer is installed so that all SRFI-19 date objects are automatically printed using date-syntax:write.

Input and output

date-syntax:read

[procedure] (date-syntax:read [PORT])

Reads a date/time literal from PORT, which defaults to the value of (current-input-port). The literal is converted to an SRFI-19 date using the first matching format template as follows:

#@~Y-~m-~dT~H:~M:~S~z

#@~Y-~m-~dT~H:~M:~S

#@~Y-~m-~d

date-syntax:write

[procedure] (date-syntax:write DATE [PORT])

Writes the SRFI-19 date object DATE in #@~Y-~m-~dT~H:~M:~S~z format to PORT, which defaults to the value of (current-output-port).
